From Balkan Peoples to Balkan Countries, 1804-1999
HIST 210 FA

Crosslistings:
REES 210

This course examines the history of the Balkan people from their emergence into national consciousness early in the 19th-century, through the troubled formation of national cultures and national states, through two world wars and the decades of Communism, and into post-Communism and the Bosnia and Kosovo crises. The peoples covered are the South Slavs (especially Croats, Serbs and Bosnian Muslims), Albanians, Bulgarians, Romanians, and Greeks, along with nonterritorial peoples who lived among them like the Jews and the Gypsies. The subject matter ranges from sustaining national myths to economic and political development. Course materials include literature, travel reports, and films.
